Free clinics would be more readily available for the homeless or less fortunate. The public would be interested in precautions on how to prevent the spread of diseases and illnesses. Realistically this is a challenge that our world faces and is one of the many reasons why I want to pursue a degree in nursing. My desire to enter into the medical field and become a nurse stems back to when I was an adolescent; I can remember watching Dr. 90210 do multiple surgeries on patients and I can just remember myself saying “I want to be able to make people feel good about themselves, no matter what.”…

    “If a patient is cold, if a patient is feverish, if a patient is faint, if he is sick after taking food, if he has a bed sore, it is generally the fault not of the disease, but of the nursing.” Florence Nightingale.

I believe throughout the past many people become very unsatisfied with the care they were receiving and unhappy if they did receive the medication they believed they needed, because of this I believe doctors prescribe medication to make the patient happy. As a soon to be nurse I would love see other actions taken before we inject medication if not necessary.…
